Ryan Broyles saw his most extensive action of the season, and Reggie Bush played more in the slot than normal, but the player who benefited most from Nate Burleson's absence in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chicago Bears was the forgotten man of the Detroit Lions' receiving corps: Kris Durham.

Durham played a season-high 61 offensive snaps, caught three passes for a team-leading 58 yards and recovered two late onside kicks to preserve a victory that gave the Lions a share of first place heading into this weekend's game at Green Bay.
